Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 752 The Cat Returns

When Thor left the Spirit Cleansing Wizard Tower again, the pure white wizard tower, which was originally five stories high and had a large disc on top, had become 17 stories high.

Of course, Thor only changed the overall structure of the Wizard Tower; the interior decoration still requires the help of the butler.

At the same time, Saul also stipulated that no one else is allowed to enter the seven floors from the second basement level to the 13th to the 17th floors.

If any reckless individual tries to trespass, the numerous fragments of vengeful spirits within the Wizard's Tower will teach them a lesson.

If they are insiders of the Wizard Tower, they still have a chance to survive as long as they leave immediately.

But if anyone else trespasses into the Wizard's Tower, Thor will not give them a chance to leave alive.

Butler Hope was initially worried that the Wizard Tower was too small, and now he's worried that it's too big. In the end, he decided to go to Rhine City to recruit a group of servants to be responsible for cleaning.

So after Thor left, the Spirit Cleansing Wizard Tower took on more of the characteristics of the Gorsa Wizard Tower.

Thor left without Claire or Byron.

These two individuals have devoted themselves entirely to the research on the chaotic region.

But he brought an orange cat with him.

……

In August, the sun blazed fiercely.

The sea breeze blowing from the beach seemed to be scorched.

It was heavy and damp, with a strange, fishy smell.

Thor, carrying a huge suitcase, with an orange cat crouching at his feet, followed behind a group of ordinary people, waiting in line to board the airship.

The new owner of this no-owner land once again skipped work to travel to another place. Although he was not afraid of being checked, he should still keep a low profile when traveling.

Adding to Thor's personal quirks, he didn't even bother to maintain his wizard identity, instead disguising himself as a merchant and preparing to board an airship to Sky City, where the fourth-tier wizard Ophelia resided.

Sky City, as the name suggests, is a city that floats in the sky.

Therefore, people usually choose to travel there by airship.

Even powerful wizards are unwilling to waste their precious magic on the journey.

Except for fourth-tier wizards.

The crowd moved forward a few more meters.

The luggage of everyone boarding the airship undergoes strict inspection to prevent the carrying of dangerous items.

After all, it's an airship, and if something happens, it could very well result in a tragedy with no survivors.

"You young people are so lucky; you don't even sweat in this sweltering heat."

When Thor stopped again, the person behind him suddenly spoke to him.

Thor placed the large box at his feet, and the orange cat meowed and flicked its tail.

Thor turned around and saw a man who wasn't very fat, but was already covered in sweat.

It's so hot, and the other person is still wearing a shirt and suit; it's no wonder they're sweating.

Although Saul was also wearing long sleeves and trousers, all his clothes were made of breathable linen.

Unfortunately, the clothes he thought he could blend into ordinary people's clothing made him feel out of place here.

Most of the people waiting to board the ship here are dressed in formal attire.

The rest were either their servants or dressed in similar uniforms.

Few people dress as casually as Saul.

"It's alright, maybe it's just that I'm naturally not good at sweating," Thor replied simply, and then turned to leave.

To his surprise, the man standing in line behind him turned out to be quite talkative.

"Haha, I'm even more envious. If you don't sweat much, you don't have to change clothes as often, which saves you so much time."

His gaze swept over Thor's hands and the large box at his feet, then he asked, "Young man, is this your first time on an airship?"

Sol smiled shyly, "To be honest, this is my first time queuing here."

"Don't be nervous, airships aren't really that bad. As long as you don't look down from the edge of the deck, it's no different from being on a boat."

The man first offered Saul a word of comfort, then introduced himself, "By the way, my name is Mike. I'm visiting relatives in Sky City. And you, young man?"

"My name is Thor. I'm going to Sky City for two reasons: first, to broaden my horizons, and second, to see if there are any opportunities to make a living."

"Looking for a job?" Mike seemed a little surprised. He looked Saul up and down again, this time without any attempt to hide his gaze.

"Sky City is no ordinary place. Although it's also known as a paradise of knowledge, I've heard from my relatives that only high-ranking wizards can live comfortably there. Many wizarding apprentices and even some low-ranking wizards have a rather difficult time."

"Really?" Thor was quite surprised. He recalled the description given by the traveling merchant, Jiajiagu. "But I heard from a friend that in Sky City, even ordinary people are entitled to pursue knowledge."

"Hiss... Thor, you're not a scholar, are you?" Mike's face tightened. "Do you have any scholarly qualifications certified by any wizarding organization?"

Scholarly qualifications?

Thor had never heard of this term before, but he felt that it should be somewhat well-known among ordinary people.

So Thor simply shook his head honestly.

Mike's facial muscles immediately relaxed. "Hey, do you really think the rumors about ordinary people are true? Only those who obtain scholar qualifications with proof of wizarding power can enter the Academy of Knowledge to study and work."

Then, he changed the subject, "However, you're young and seem to be in good physical condition, so you still have a chance to get some support work at the Institute of Practical Education. But those jobs are extremely difficult to get. Even if an ordinary person meets all the requirements, getting a job might require extraordinary luck."

"It seems the competition is really fierce." Thor nodded, but he wasn't intimidated.

They had the fearlessness of a newborn calf.

Seeing that Saul didn't respond, Mike leaned closer and lowered his voice, saying, "Saul, you seem like a kind and honest young man, and I can't bear to let you go back empty-handed. I'll point you in the right direction. While I can't guarantee you'll get into the Practical Academy, I can definitely increase your chances by 50%."

Thor found it amusing to watch the other person speaking so cautiously, as if afraid of being overheard.

But he maintained his goofy persona, asking with surprise, "What kind of approach?"

Then he heard Mike lower his voice again and lean closer, "Have you ever heard of the cat returning the favor?"

Thor: "?!"

Orange cat: "Meow?"

Saul was waiting for the rest of the story, but Mike suddenly stopped talking.

"Shh, this isn't the place to talk. I'll tell you my room number after we board the airship. If you want to have more options, come find me after dinner. If you have other concerns, that's fine too."

After saying that, Mike shrank back.

Even when Thor pressed for details, asking, "What exactly is the cat's gratitude?" the other party refused to elaborate.

Seeing that the other party was keeping him in suspense and wouldn't say anything, Saul didn't consider using force, but acted like an ordinary young man. Unable to get further explanation, he began to consider whether or not to go.

Just then, Kate the orange cat cautiously sent a whisper.

"Lord Thor, could this cat's return be a curse you've spread?"
